Well, I bit the bullet and bought an Apex from BRS last week. this is my first time with a controller so kinda excited to see what I can do. I also got the BRS titanium heater to use with it.
Hopefully UPS gets here soon with it

hmmm. So I have it all connected. I got the blue light on the Apex and scanned it and it seems stuck at Prepping your dashboard. Does this normally take a long time?

How is it all working for you? I am looking at the EL and BRS heater as well because I can’t seem to get my heater control unit and chiller to be in sync and have a 2 degree difference in reading.

its been working great. I have an inkbird plugged into my apex because I hear if you use the apex to control the heater it will end up killing the outlet. So i would rather the inkbird die not the expensive eb832. When i was using the Apex for the BRS heater it was a dead on 1degree swing I had it set to. The inkbird is no where near as tight. It is supposed to be 1 degree so it heats from 78-79. the inkbird is more like swining from 77.8-79.2 not a huge difference. As far as the Apex i am enjoying it
